       Harlequins can confirm second row Irné Herbst will depart the
       Club this summer to join CA Brive.
       The South African lock arrived at The Stoop in 2022 from United
       Rugby Championship side Benetton Rugby after a five-year stint
       with the Italian outfit.
       Herbst, who has 61 appearances in the Quarters to date, will
       swap the Gallagher Premiership for Pro D2 following the
       conclusion of the 2024/25 campaign
       Everyone at Harlequins would like to thank Irné for his
       contribution to the Club throughout his time in the Quarters.

       with the 2 Second Rows incoming i'm not too upset by this. I
       just hope we can keep hold of Dino!

       How does the Pro D2 compare with the Championship?

       There is no comparison really.
       Some of the D2 teams are probably more comparable to some of our
       Prem teams in terms of support and facilities.
       E.g. the Beziers stadium is bigger than the Stoop (Capacity:
       18,555) along with 4 others.
       The teams have good (noisy) travelling support too.

       Gutted about this.  One of my favourites.  Even if he has an off
       day, at least gives it everything and a great bloke off the
       paddock too.

       It's a lot easier to get promoted from Pro D2.

       A shame as Irne always puts a big shift in, makes shed loads of
       first-up tackles  and has remained relatively injury free. I'd
       of preferred us keeping Irne and letting Launchbury go, but
       suspect the sums didn't add up.
       At least we've already got his replacement lined-up in
       Treadwell.

       Think he improved quite a bit with us and got to the point where
       he is a real asset to the team. We'll miss him.

       And stays fit and injury free.
